Lynch came out of retirement to join his hometown Raiders, apparently the only team he wanted to play for. In Oakland, Lynch joins a backfield that parted ways with Latavius Murray but remains deep, boasting two talented young runners in Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. Not to be overlooked, Lynch will be working behind an offensive line that ranked fourth in the NFL last season, according to ProFootballFocus.com. Lynch retired after an arduous 2015 season in which he struggled through a sports hernia. He missed nine regular-season games and one in the playoffs after undergoing surgery to repair the issue on Nov. 25. Lynch had missed just one game the four previous seasons. During his five seasons in Seattle, Lynch was third in the league in rushing yards (5,774), second in first downs (294) and first in rushing touchdowns. His 51 touchdowns surpassed Adrian Peterson's second-place total by six. Yes, Lynch is 31 years old. But he's had a year to get healthy and this new situation seems to be too good to ignore.
